Challenge

Our client is the United States Golf Association, a US non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the game of golf nationally and globally.

Professional golfers and amateurs should maintain consistent, high-level training and know the rules of the game. In golf, there are so many rules that even the pros sometimes pause to ask a question or clarify. Amateur golfers should also familiarize themselves with some of the common rules to be fair and courteous to fellow golfers.

USGA set themselves the goal of helping members improve their golf skills, and teaching them all the rules of the game – from the simple to the most complex. And, in addition, explain how to analyze the course of the game.

The USGA set a goal of helping its members improve their golf skills and learn all the rules of the game—from the simplest to the most complex. Additionally, they wanted to provide guidance on how to analyze the game's progress. To achieve this, the USGA hired our company to develop an official mobile application. 

We were selected due to our strong expertise in developing mobile apps for the sports industry. The Cogniteq team was tasked with creating the Official Rules of Golf app for both iOS and Android platforms, from concept to final product.
